8:5 Why, then, do these people of Jerusalem
continually turn away from me in apostasy?
They hold fast to their deception.
They refuse to turn back to me.
1:4
the people weighed down by evil deeds.
They are offspring who do wrong,
children

and rejected the Holy One of Israel.
They are alienated from him.
28:13 So the Lord’s word to them will sound like

and be injured, ensnared, and captured.

11:7 My people are obsessed
they call to Baal,
7:11 “But they refused to pay attention, turning away stubbornly and stopping their ears so they could not hear.
